No, it can't be used in the UK. It only has the 850/1900 bands as you point out, so it works in the USA and most of Latin America.

I ordered this phone and will be traveling in Ireland and the UK, so you didnt have any problems connecting to the GSM networks with this product?

850/1900 is for usa and north america only. 900/1800 is for africa, europe and asia

I dont think it can be, 850/1900 is mainly north america. You can always ask your provider though, they will let you know for sure!

J, to my best knowledge, yes you can use this in US. This is why: I purchased this phone for Mexico, but as I live in the border I cross often to US and I got AT&T; service. In the other hand, I got one for my wife (Motorloa Unlocked Verizon branded) and it works in Mexico but cannot get any service in US -please note this Motorola stated unlocked non for US. Cheers!

This is carrier specific so it utilizes tmobiles frequencies 850/1700/1900 for service. If the device is unlocked you can use it on any operator that uses the same frequencies in that country it's just a matter of getting a sim card.

hat is the difference between GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800? GSM 900/1800 are the cellphone frequencies used in most of the world. GSM 850/1900 are the cellphone frequencies used primarily in North America. Please make sure that your cellphone has either GSM 850 or GSM 1900 so it will work in the USA.

Its unlock and all GSM channels can use. We take it back to HK is ok. I am not sure if it works in UK

The reviews and Motorola specs say that it is quad band. However, if you plan to use it for international travel, that depends on your service provider. I'm using Consumer Cellular; even though they use the ATT network, they warn that you should not be able to use their phone service internationally. But even if you happen to be able to do so, you will be paying at least $1-3 per minute.

It means that the phone can access 850, 1900, 900 and 1800 MHz bands so that it can operate in the U.S. and other parts of the world such Europe and Asia. Hope this helps.

If yyou are asking if you can have a Sprint contract with worldwide support, then yes, the phone probably works in UK with very expenisve roaming. If you are asking if you can use the phone with a UK based provider and contract, the answer is complicated. The SIM card is built in on this phone. You would need to do a complicated hardare mod to use another SIM card, and root the phone. There is a lot of detailed information in forums and on youtube showing this.

Same phone, different model. There were different releases for the US and international market that could receive different LTE bands. See the wikipedia article for more.

US version will work in any other country in this world. International version is superior to US version in every way. Compare the specifications and you will find the Processor, Ram, Graphics would be way better in International Version. The only downside of International version is not able to use 4G LTE which, as per my knowledge, is not used anywhere except US.

No, because the band widths are different (for Europe and Africa) than the US. Read this note from the celestial.com web site: "International Cell Phones An international cell phone is classified as a GSM mobile phone that operates on the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequency. An international cell phone with the appropriate sim card, will provide coverage in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim including Australia. A world cell phone with the GSM 1900 frequency will expand coverage to include the United States, Canada and a growing part of South America." Hope this information helps you.

You can ask the GSM carrier if the band or frequency ranges that they use in UK and the Caribbean are 850 or 1900 if they have it, no problem it will work.

I didn't understand your question very well, but I don't think so. I bought this phone last year and the phone works just fine. I din't get any problem at all. I also don't know if the seller changed the product, but when I bought this phone, I am pretty sure that it was an UK version, because of the cherger and the 4G network.

No, all you need in America is 850/1800/1900mhz. 900mhz is mainly used in Europe and Asia. So unless you travel internationally alot, I recommend a triband phone (850/1800/1900mhz).

The International version has different band ranges which are not used in the U.S. It will still work in the U.S. it just has the following bands: Bands/Modes - 3G HSDPA 3.6 Mbps, WCDMA 850/1900, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 EDGE /GPRS class 10.

You can use this phone WorldWide, as long as you use a carrier that operates any of these frequencies. Quad-Band 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 Mhz
